Abstract
Case management systems and techniques are disclosed. In various embodiments, searching case instances is facilitated. An indication to create a composite index across hierarchical case nodes comprising a case model is received. Case instance data associated with the case model is used to generate the composite index. The composite index is made available to be used to optimize searches of a plurality of case instances with which the case instance data is associated.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method of facilitating searching case instances, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor an indication to create a composite index across hierarchical case nodes comprising a case model;
- analyzing programmatically a case model definition associated with the case model to determine two or more attributes associated with two or more case nodes with respect to which a criteria to generate the composite index is satisfied, the two or more case nodes comprising case nodes from at least two different levels of the hierarchy of case nodes;
- and
- using, by the processor, case instance data associated with the case model to generate the composite index.
A computer program product to facilitate searching case instances in an electronic case management system, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- receiving, by an electronic case management system, an indication to create a composite index across hierarchical case nodes comprising a case model;
- analyzing programmatically a case model definition associated with the case model to determine two or more attributes associated with two or more case nodes with respect to which a criteria to generate the composite index is satisfied, the two or more case nodes comprising case nodes from at least two different levels of the hierarchy of case nodes;
- and
- using, by the electronic case management system, case instance data associated with the case model to generate the composite index.
An electronic case management system, comprising:
- a storage device configured to store a case model;
- and
- a processor coupled to the storage device and configured to:
- receive an indication to create a composite index across hierarchical case nodes comprising the case model;
- analyze programmatically a case model definition associated with the case model to determine two or more attributes associated with two or more case nodes with respect to which a criteria to generate the composite index is satisfied, the two or more case nodes comprising case nodes from at least two different levels of the hierarchy of case nodes;
- and
- using case instance data associated with the case model to generate the composite index.
